    The family returned home one day before Madame Qiao and her entourage did. And the once cold house became lively once again.


    Although Shao Dng and Ms. Xu were not present, they were not forgotten. They received numerous gifts from Ms. Fang, including materials for clothes, needlework supplies, and food and clothing for the children. Qiao Xuan and Yang Xiaoni also prepared presents for Ms. Xu.


    Yang Xiaoni gave her a variety of pastries, nuts, and snacks, while Qiao Xuan gifted her a set of cosmetics and a pair of beautiful gold hairpins. Taotao also contributed by giving her a set of threads and needles.


    Ms. Xu was overjoyed to receive these gifts.


    Upon their return, Shao Yunduan went to check on the progress of the school construction.<div>


    The Land Officer and elderly men from the n were overseeing the construction, and everything was going well.


    The entire vige was pleased to offer their assistance, making it a coborative effort. Each household actively participated in the work.


    The school was expected to bepleted within 10 to 20 days.


    Following that, there would be the instation of furniture, hiring of teachers, and all other necessary arrangements. Everything was proceeding smoothly.


    Lixia and Liqiu were fully upied with making lipsticks. They would create a set whenever a flower bloomed. As the rose flowers gradually diminished, there were fewer osmanthus and chrysanthemums avable for making lipsticks. In about two weeks, the lipstick production would be temporarily


    halted.


    Qiao Xuan mentioned that she could provide another set of around 1,000 lipsticks to Yuezheng Xiao in theing days. Additionally, she nned to deliver a batch of snow fungus and mushrooms before the New Year.


    Furthermore, Qiao Xuan contemted hiring people to cultivate the field adjacent to the flowernd she intended to purchase. This expansion would allow vigers to sell, rent, and exchange thend. She had no intentions of allocating more space for lipstick production as their current position was already advantageous.


    Considering their position in the vige, this n should be straightforward. It was evident that if the flower field expanded, her sisters-inw and maids would not have enough spare hands to manage it. Therefore, Qiao Xuan contemted selecting a few intelligent and dependable girls to assist them.


    There was no need for Qiao Xuan to keep the flower field a secret anymore. She could now hire people from the vige to nt flower seeds, remove grass, trim, and extract honey.


    Her family was strong enough to protect their own lipstick property. Qiao Xuan shared this idea with Shao Yunduan, who wholeheartedly agreed.


    “Let’s make all the arrangements before the New Year,” he suggested. “After the New Year, I will be heading to the capital for the examination, and 1 hope you can apany me!”


    Shao Yunduan had grown ustomed to having Qiao Xuan by his side. It wasn’t just about taking care of him, but also providing him with a sense of security.


    The couple spent their time talking, strolling, and exploring. They enjoyed going sightseeing and shopping together. Shao Yunduan was overjoyed to see Qiao Xuan searching for various ingredients and picking out small items, as well as visiting bookstores with him.


    The thought of going to the capital alone and being separated from her was unbearable for him.


    Qiao Xuan also had her own intentions. She wanted to prevent him from being swayed by others as a son-inw. She wanted to see if he would remain devoted to her after achieving sess. However, this was a natural expectation, a quiet waiting andpanionship, rather than intentional tests..
